New Ways to View Outside

Many are surprised to learn that New Mexico is a land of varied landscapes and elevations, allowing for a wide variety of outdoor adventures. Challenging ski runs, thrilling rafting and zip lines, scenic horseback rides, and endless hiking and mountain biking are just some of the experiences that await you.

Linking two of northern New Mexico’s iconic ski towns of Taos and Angel Fire is a ribbon of singletrack unlike any other. The South Boundary Trail transports intermediate mountain bikers along loamy pine needles and down exposed ridgelines for 25 miles. For most locals, riding it in the fall is a ritual to mark the passing seasons.

The expansive clear blue sky is a hallmark of New Mexico. This experience offers a new and exciting way to relish that big western sky. Enjoy a trip up in those clouds overlooking the New Mexico high desert with a Moriarty Glider tour. Choose from the many flight options available to find a ride that matches your style and comfort. Gliders ascend to altitudes of up to 18,000 feet above sea level offering spectacular views. We advise that you call ahead to book your trip and do not forget to bring sunscreen.

See the world and beautiful New Mexico terrain from a totally new perspective. This unbeatable experience will literally take you to new heights. New Mexico is famous for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, but visitors can take a balloon ride throughout the year with one of the many companies throughout the state. Seize this opportunity for an incredible day with incredible views.

For an adventure-packed day filled with breathtaking scenery and rich knowledge of the land take an off road open-air jeep tour through Red River. Ascend the mountains, traverse the Aspen groves, stop and see the forgotten gold mines. Your driver and tour guide will take care of everything while offering rich insight into the land and telling wonderful stories. We recommend the Goose Lake tour, which is the most rugged but offers the most beautiful scenery and vistas. Don’t forget to bring a camera.
